I received knowledge in Denver just before Montrose (1971?). It was an amazing time (with or without M). I experienced
some powerful mystical stuff around the guy and luckily didn't give him full credit. I believe my experiences were
manifested by my own passion to see God Light Truth Peace Hope etc. I stuck with him for about 7 years. I never
donated more than about three bucks at any given time and always managed to stay out of Ashram control. I developed
a passion for meditation.

I think perhaps the most positive thing about this time of my life was the people that I became close to. Others
that shared a strong spiritual quest. Most of those people have left M but I'm sure most of them continue on their
quest. I feel that life is an initiation unto itself.

I lived in Premie communities in Portland,OR... Lincoln City,OR... City of Love and Light-San Antonio,TX...Denver...LA.
If any of my old dear friends read this I hope they will contact me.
